Additionally, as of Round 38, success chances are now modified by you and your target's current spy or wizard strength, at 1 % extra success per 10 % extra strength that you have, and vice versa. This is applied after the above formula, so if the formula says that you should have 50 % success, but your strength is 80 % while your target is at 40 %, you'd have a 54 % chance of success.

Success rates do have a so-called clamp: a minimum or maximum success rate that comes in to play at the end. No matter what, you will ''always'' have a 1 % success rate on any op, while you will also only have 98 % success rate for info ops and 97 % success rate for Theft or Black Ops at the maximum. At equal strength, this translates to a roughly 10:1 ratio for blops. The exception to this is if the target has 0 spies or 0 wizards: if that is the case, your attempt will always succeed, bypassing any and all checks, including those for the -50 % success [[Wonders]].

<code>(1/(1+EXP(-(Attacker Ratio / Defender Ratio) +((Attacker Ratio / Defender Ratio)^-0.4)))) - 0.07) + (0.008 * (Attacker Ratio / Defender Ratio))</code>, to a maximum of 95 % success.

As of Round 31, damage from black ops is reduced based on the target's spy/wizard ratio.

| style="vertical-align: top;" | Black Ops are currently (as of Round 23) easier to perform than Theft. This includes both War Ops (e.g. Fireball/Sinking) and non-War Ops (e.g. Insect Swarm and Assassinate Draftees). War Ops, however, are also affected by [[Resilience]] in their actual damage.

For Fireball and Lightning Bolt, the damage reduction comes in the form of reduced vulnerability (the maximum amount of peasants or improvements that can be destroyed). For all other ops, the damage reduction is additive with other damage reduction bonuses and caps at -80%. The ratio required to reach the cap of -50% scales linearly throughout the round (from 0.5 to 1.5).
